Industrial Applications

Reheating Furnace Combustion Air Control
Modulates combustion air supply to continuous reheating furnaces, maintaining optimal air-fuel ratio for billet and slab heating across varying rolling schedules.
DRI Process Gas Regulation
Controls reformed gas flow to DRI shaft reactors, adjusting reducing gas volume and composition to achieve target metallization levels.
Melt Shop De-Dusting Fan Control
Regulates suction airflow to EAF and ladle furnace de-dusting systems, balancing capture efficiency with fan energy consumption.
